A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin

astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

$v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0$

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

$v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph$

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

$v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph$

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph$

A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 2.60 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) After the attainment of terminal speed , object takes 4.5 s to cover a distance of 2 m

So terminal speed V = 2 / 4.5

= .444 m /s

When it attains terminal speed , acceleration becomes zero

0 = g - B x .444

B = 22.25 s⁻¹

b ) At t = 0 , v = 0

a = g - B v

a = g at t = 0

c ) When v = .15

a = g - 22.25 x .15

= 9.8 - 3.31

= 6.5 m /s²
